Tu Vuò Fà L'americano (you're acting like an American)--Renato Carosone (1956)
You wear brand-name pants with a logo
A hat with the brim turned up
You strut Via Tuleto [main drag of Naples]
Like a pretty boy trying to attract attention

You’re acting like an American
Listen, who made you do that?
You want to live in style,
But when you drink whiskey and soda,
You get sick to your stomach.

You dance to rock and roll,
You play baseball,
But where do you get money for Camel cigarettes?
Mom’s purse?

You're acting like an American
But you were born in Italy.
Listen here! there’s no use in trying.
OK, Mr. Neapolitan,
You're acting like an American.

What’s-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect?
What-a you t’ink you do, why you look-a so sad?
It’s-a not so bad, it’s-a nice-a place
Ah shaddap-a you face!

That's priceless! Thanks! I see you and raise you one Shaddup You Face.

Have you seen the movie Big Night with Stanley Tucci? You would love it.
